BACKGROUND

This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.

With the growing number of mobile phone users, more and more merchants, to achieve the purpose of low-cost product information pushing, have begun to push the product information to mobile phone users by the aid of a cloud server. However, pushing product information to mobile phone users by the cloud server is a very blind way for information push. Because the product information is indistinguishably pushed to all mobile phone users by the cloud server, the users may not found exactly. In addition, as a kind of public server, the cloud server has lots of restrictions, so that a real-time update for the product information is unable made by the merchants, thereby leading to a poor push effect for the product information.

Referring to FIG. 1, it is a flowchart of a method for information push disclosed by one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for information push may include the following steps.

Step S101, a terminal receiving a business search command determined by an operation of a user.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may be a smart phone (such as an Android phone, an iOS mobile phone, etc), a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a mobile internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID) or other mobile terminal, and can also be a PC, which will not be restricted in embodiments of the present invention.

In one embodiment, the terminal can receive the business search command input by the user when operating a business search interface on an instant messaging tool, such as a business search interface on a business search plugin or some other information platforms. Specifically, the user can click to enter a plugin interface of the instant messaging tool after using an instant messaging account to login the instant messaging tool on the terminal. Furthermore, the user may single-click or double-click the business search plugin on the plugin interface of the instant messaging tool, thereby triggering to input a business search command to the terminal. Embodiments of the present invention can be combined with massive users in the instant messaging tool, business information around a user can be provided for the user in the instant messaging tool, and at the same time, a product push channel with low-cost but high-precision will be provided for the businesses.

Step S102, the terminal responding the business search command, and sending a business search request which includes current location information of the user to a first server.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the current location information of the user can be obtained by the terminal through a base station, GPS or Wi-Fi, which will not be restricted in embodiments of the present invention. The first server can be a store server such as a cloud server.

Step S206, the terminal responding an operation which is aimed at the server address of the business by the user after receiving the server address and the basic information of the business sent by the first server, and sending an information push request to a second server corresponding to the business.

Wherein the second server such as business server is configured to store product information customized by the business, the basic information of the business includes name, address and introduction of the business, and so on.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server may prestore address of each business server and basic information of each business, wherein the address of each business server and the basic information of each business can be reported to the cloud server by each business.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can view basic information of a business after receiving the server address and the basic information of the business sent by the cloud server. If interested in the business, the user can perform a click operation which is aimed at the server address of the business, thereby sending an information push request to the business server.

Step S207, the second server responding the information push request, and pushing the product information customized by the business to the terminal.

It should be noted that the server address of a business and an address of the business may be the same or not, which will not be restricted in embodiments of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the second server can respond the information push request, and push the product information customized by the business to the terminal by HTTP to reduce network traffic, which will not be restricted in embodiments of the present invention.

In the method described as FIG. 2, a terminal can prompt the user whether to allow uploading current address information or not after receiving the business search command input by a user. If an instruction input by the user to allow uploading the current address information is received, the terminal can respond the business search command and send a business search request to a first server such as a cloud server, wherein the business search request includes the current location information of the user. So that the cloud server can query a business matching current location information of the user after receiving the business search request, and send a server address of the business as well as basic information of the business to the terminal. After receiving the server address as well as the basic information of the business sent by the cloud server, the terminal can respond an operation which is aimed at the server address of the business by the user and send an information push request to a second server corresponding to the business. The second server such as a business server can respond the information push request, and push the product information customized by the business to the terminal. In the method described as FIG. 2, it is obvious that product information can be accurately pushed to a user. In addition, a business server configured to store product information customized by the business belongs to a private server. So that the business can set up its own product information and make a real-time update for the product information, thereby improving the push effect of the product information.
